  I found this Note today and you can see there is a mark seems like a scratch. However I  touched it and it seems Very smooth. doesnt feel like being scratched by any sharp items or something left on that hologram area.  Some how I feel it's like some kind of print error.  BUT I dont really sure.  Is anyone know any issue about this ????

IMO:
It appears as if there was something on the roller while it was being produced (or scratch in hologram process) but I really don't believe such blemishes (even excess ink) will have an "error" like premium as seen in paper.  Actually- in paper error collectors ignore such deviations as they're used to seeing such and usually seek perfect notes.  For example- if there is ink missing- then it must come from a fold of paper or be quite major to produce interest.  Ink smears must be fairly dramatic to sell.

There will be many of these inferior notes produced for a few years to come yet (until they iron out the production process or increase QC).  If a hologram is missing, a quadrant of the base or colour is missing (something quite dramatic) than that will be worth keeping and getting interested in.
